These may or may not include convicted criminals who are
legal
immigrants. As in all immigrant crime statistics, that is unclear. But Texas’s figures do only include immigrant criminals who have been fingerprinted by the Department of Homeland Security.

The GAO’s estimate of three hundred thousand illegal immigrants in non-federal lock-ups is based on the number of incarcerated illegal aliens for
whom the states requested reimbursement from the federal government. But states don’t always request reimbursement. A half dozen states have failed to file the forms for some years, including Illinois and Virginia. In 2009, Illinois was imprisoning more than ten thousand criminal aliens, and Virginia had nearly five thousand.
Report to Congressional Requesters
, 62. “For each individual name submitted, ICE reports to DOJ that it (1) verified the individual was illegally in the United States at the time of incarceration (called SCAAP illegal aliens), (2) lacked documentation to confirm an individual’s immigration status (called SCAAP unknown aliens), or (3) verified that the individual was an alien legally in the United States or a United States citizen and therefore not eligible for reimbursement under SCAAP.” Of the illegal immigrants for whom reimbursement was requested, the GAO counts only those whom both the state and the federal government agree are here illegally or whom the state believes are illegal and the federal government can’t prove otherwise.
